VERSE 1 

I left a piece of my heart at the cross

You carried it with You to Heaven above

All day and night my soul eagerly waits

To see Heaven come and Your Kingdom


VERSE 2

There wasn?t space for my sin and my shame 

But that didn?t stop You from calling my name

And waking me up from this heartbroken place 

With songs of Your freedom and notes of Your grace 


CHORUS 

Stars and skylines

Can?t outshine Your glory 

Time can pass by 

It won?t outlast Your reign

We join the praises of a thousand generations 

Hallelujah, God

I can?t help but sing again


VERSE 3

See now the earth how it can?t help itself

Trading Your treasures for counterfeit wealth

Hear now Your church how She eagerly waits

Singing come now Lord Jesus

Restore what You?ve made


Stars and skylines

Can?t outshine Your glory 

Time can pass by 

It won?t outlast Your reign

We join the praises of a thousand generations 

Hallelujah, God

I can?t help but sing again


BRIDGE

Movements fade away 

Your Kingdom won?t 

You?re on the throne


And now I know

Your love can change the world 

You?re in control 

You won?t let go
